Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=DataAgent]You can’t lose.
[/quote]Smart you!
I have the option to cancel and lose my earnest deposit but the seller does not, else I can sue for specific performance.
I might use this one day.[/quote]
I’ve done it. Several times. But in commercial real estate transactions. Dealing with commercial real estate is like swimming with sharks. Minnows don’t survive.
ParticipantYou can’t lose. Verbally requesting a price reduction doesn’t give the seller the right to keep your earnest money and cancel the deal. The seller has the right to say “yes” or “no”.
If the seller says “yes”, you win. If the seller says “no”, the deal goes forward as negotiated.
How can you lose? You have a signed contract with a fixed price and terms. The seller may think you’re a crummy weasel but who cares? You’ll never see them again.

ParticipantI had no idea Otay Ranch was a landfill project. After a quick google search, you made the right decision. Otay Ranch is not a good place to buy a house. Who wants to live on a landfill?

Just hire an escrow company to do all the paperwork. They will tell you what details you need to have worked out. You’ll save thousands of dollars putting the deal together on your own.
I’ve personally worked with Heritage Escrow and Elite Escrow. Both are excellent companies. But don’t expect any escrow company to negotiate for you. You need to have the deal completely baked.
ParticipantPersonally, I’d rather have a double-shot of small batch bourbon on ice. Kirkland (Costco’s brand) makes a great bourbon.
ParticipantWe rented a house with solar panels on the roof several years. The owner kept the SDGE bill in his name and we paid nothing. All other utilities were put in our name. Everything worked out fine. And I’m sure he did the same thing with the next tenant.

Maybe I’ll pop along at some point, but I have two young kids and I prefer to get some time with them.”
The guy who writes the CPG minutes doesn’t attend the meeting. You really need to attend the CPG meeting to get the facts.
It’s only once a month. Your kids won’t miss you.

But it looks like House #1 now has a big back yard. The real problem with Ticonderoga is the shared driveways and the noise off Morena.

January 13, 2018 at 12:52 PM in reply to: Insight on neighborhoods for prospective home-buyer – Clairemont, Bay Ho/Park #808992ParticipantHere’s the latest info on the Balboa station trolley plan. It’s dated: December 2017.
January 12, 2018 at 11:09 PM in reply to: Insight on neighborhoods for prospective home-buyer – Clairemont, Bay Ho/Park #808989Participant“I am confused by the idea that the Balboa stop will be a gateway to PB. How are people meant to get to the Trolley from PB? The station is across the 5 and far away from most of PB. They are not building a bridge across the 5 (although it is mentioned in the plans). Apparently, the cycle route will be via the ‘In and Out’ road and Santa Fe street.”
buses, cabs, shuttles, limos, uber stops etc.
I have a link to a very detailed visual plan of the latest rendition of the Balboa station. Lots of bus parking and pick up points. I need to find it.

Also worth noting, they are putting in a trolley… it’s worth considering whether that directly impacts the property you are looking at.
[/quote]Rich,
Do you think the trolley is good or bad for our area? I’m a bit concerned about the Balboa stop being the gateway to PB for thousands more SDSU and UCSD kids. Morena and Balboa could turn into a congested nightmare with buses, cabs, shuttles, limos, uber stops etc.I’ve been attending the trolley meetings since they started in 2013. The original ribbon-cutting date was supposed to be 2018. Now we’re looking at 2021. Next stop… Ivanka inauguration? 🙂
